Invoice Financing

What is Invoice Financing?

Invoice finance is a working capital facility which provides flexible finance that grows in line with a business’s own sales growth. In simple terms, invoice finance releases cash currently tied up in outstanding customer invoices (debtor/sales ledger), ideal for improving cashflow and enabling your business expansion plans.

How does it work?

You invoice your customers for goods and services, and send details of the sales invoice to the invoice finance provider.

On receipt of your invoice, the invoice finance provider will typically release up to 90% of its value within 24 hours of it being raised, minus a small fee.

Your customer makes payment (directly to the business or to the finance provider depending on specific product e.g. factoring would be to invoice provider)

The invoice finance provider releases the remaining 10% of the invoice value.
